Day 1
We walk into a camp cave and leave packs there, and after lunch make our way in to our first canyon. This is a pleasant canyon, though fairly open, with lots of short drops.

Day 2
Climbing out the same pass as yesterday, we head along a ridge and drop into another canyon. This one is excellent, long and sustained.
